According to a press release we just received Vessio, LLC, a web development company operating out of Houston, Texas has announced their soon to be released Domain Development service which will provide a new level of sophistication and revenue possibilities to Domain Name owners.
“Since 2006, Vessio has deployed hundreds of websites and dynamic components for a global list of companies and organizations large and small that fuse seamless design with smooth functionality.”
“Domain names, undoubtedly, are a mandatory aspect of the web, and that very significance has created an industry in itself. Much like the buying, selling, and developing of real estate property, domain names have proven to yield very similar revenue possibilities. Vessio understands proper development and what is necessary to yield a targeted presence online. After researching the current solutions being provided in the market, Vessio has identified the positive and negative aspects and tailored a unique service that is accessible and manageable for domain name owners to execute.”
“Jacob Fedosky, Director of Domain Development at Vessio, has provided insight relating to common questions surrounding Vessio’s new service.
We have seen similar types of services come and go, what is different about Vessio’s approach?
“Other providers tend to have a single template. Each minisite they churn out has a different color scheme and header but the general feel of the site is the same. We’re completely customizing each site. Other providers also fill their minisites with sub-par content. Vessio has partnered with a high quality content provider so our developed websites give visitors the information they came to find. With customized designs and quality content, we’re turning domain names into authoritative websites.”
Why do you feel it is time for a reputable service provider to provide domain development services?
“As parking revenues continue to fall, domain portfolio owners need a viable solution to earn money from their domain names. Other providers have tried to solve this problem but they have done so in a way that isn’t scalable. Vessio isn’t developing “minisites” – we’re developing actual websites that provide real value to both domain owners and consumers that access the websites.”
Since when do Domainers know what they want in terms of development, how will Vessio help?
“Domainers want results. Other providers have come and gone because they can’t give their customers consistent results. They built “cookie-cutter” minisites filling them with spammy content and too many AdSense ads. Vessio is providing customized designs, quality content, and custom ad integration. While we still utilize AdSense for our clients, we don’t depend on it. We also integrate a number of affiliate links & ads. By incorporating several revenue streams into each site, Vessio keeps developed domain names from appearing spammy and in turn, produces results.”
What does Vessio aim to provide with this service and what results can be expected?
We aim to provide a quality website for each domain name that is brought to us. Developed domain names can be more profitable than parked pages in several ways. First, ad revenue can be generated through Pay-Per-Click ads, affiliate programs, and direct ad sales. Second, some developed domain names may quickly become authoritative websites. It’s nearly impossible to see this potential when a domain name is parked. However, our clients may see their developed domain names rank in search engines very quickly. In such situations we recommend a larger scale of development to further the growth and to capitalize on the website’s potential. Lastly, developed domain names are put in front of more buyers. Vessio optionally adds “for sale” markings on websites they develop.
Vessio is prepared to launch their Domain Development service in early October 2012, pricing will be competitive and incentives will be offered on bulk orders.
Vessio is a trusted leader in delivering innovative web solutions obtained at enterprise, campaign, and assignment levels providing website development, design, and open source application services to help maintain a productive and active presence online.

Where would the content be coming from?
without ‘fresh relevant dynamic content’ they have zero chance of Positioning, even worse if they will be sharing DNS the algorithm will detect that and will punish it, the same applies if member sites share links …
Didn’t smartname.com already tried this approach…? (emphasis in “tried”)
any examples of their successfully ranked minisites?
@ Domo – I’ll try to respond to your comment point by point.
We have a handful of content providers that populate the sites we build with high quality content.
The sites we develop will not be “sharing DNS” and they won’t be cross-linked in a way that search engines punish.
I’m not familiar with what Smartname.com has tried, but we’ve seen several different “minisite” companies come and go. However, we’re trying to distance ourselves from their unsuccessful model of churning out “cookie cutter” minisites. As the press release says, we’re dedicated to developing a unique website (design as well as content) on each domain name that our clients bring to us.
Lastly, as the press release says, we’re launching this service on Monday the 8th. For this reason, we don’t have “ranked minisites (and I’ll emphasize again that we aren’t developing ‘minisites’)” to show. However, since Vessio has been a development company since 2006, we do have an extensive portfolio of our design work which can be seen here: http://www.vessio.com/portfolio/
Thanks for the comment! I look forward to answering any more questions that you may have.

Jacob,
Thanks for the explanation sorry for assuming you guys were yet another “Minisite Cookie Cutter” company for the masses ….
I see your examples (General Web) as very attractive “Business cards” per se …
in that sense how are you different than say: intuit.com or godaddy.com ?
I assume (for this s segment of you services) owners are responsible for the content since you are including a CMS in them..?
don’t get me wrong I am not putting your services down there is a need for your service, I visited recently a couple of developers in South Texas and they all have work coming out of their ears “literally” one even rejected me as a client hha not only for being busy but the owner explained to me that their ideal customer was somebody that knew Nothing about developing (Zero) …
For the other segment “Custom sites” are you guys ‘hand picking’ projects?
or what is the approach: everybody is welcome?
good questions Domo.
Sounds a lil to good to be true so i expect a price tag somewhere, not seen it yet.
A smillar setup is at http://www.commercialmicroportals.com/
You develop it yourself or use their automated content fetching based on domain or keywords.
@ Domo-Again, I’ll try to address your comment point by point 🙂
We’re different than intuit or godaddy because we handle the entire process. I’m not sure if you’ve used their products before, but most “website builders” are a pain to use and they don’t always produce high quality websites. We design each website that we develop.
Our standard domain development package includes content. We give our clients a CMS (if needed) so that they can add their own additional content.
Custom sites are open to anyone. Typically, these are websites that we build for small businesses (rather than domainers). However, if we see potential in a domain name that is submitted to us for development, we may recommend a custom build instead.
Thanks again for your questions!
@ cctlddk – We’re launching our service tomorrow, so you will be able to see pricing details then 🙂
Vessio’s domain development service is actually very different from CMP. CMP shares DNS (a potential negative that domo mentioned above), automatically fetches content, and doesn’t seem to provide a custom design.
Our service doesn’t depend on the sharing of DNS. Also, we provide our clients with custom content for their websites. Automated content cannot sustain a website. Lastly, we customize the design of each domain name we develop.
It’s not to say CMP is a bad product, but it’s comparing apples to oranges. We’re providing custom development to domain names and they’re not.
Thanks for your comment as well! I hope I was able to clarify the difference between us and CMP. If you have any other questions, feel free to share them!
Jacob,
thanks for the explanation.
Robert.
@ Robert – You’re welcome. Thank you for the questions!
